This ground we're playing at tomorrow, is it easy to get to on public transport? Has anyone ever been?
Thanks in advance.

It is not ideal, nearest town is Mansfield, a bus runs between Mansfield and Worksop on the main A60, then a 5 min walk. Not sure how often the busses run, there might be some sort of curtesy bus from Notts, as it is slightly out in the sticks.
Have you tried using the direction option in google maps?
It will give you public transport options and timings.

Yeah looked was coming up like 3 odd hours in total, thought I'd ask on here to get a 'real life' take. Cheers
It looks a nightmare and, frankly, a bit of a dump to be honest.
Is it Welbeck Colliery?
Evocative - but not really in a bucolic way. Sort of Sean Bean evocative. Guardian wrote about giant Pylons there.

Charlie Taylor in, Lintott out. Malik still in the 13...
Pleased to see Charlie in, but suspect it’ll be an unchanged team.

I dont think they restrict access around the ground like Rugby....

Very interesting. I guess that means it will be the end of Jake's career with us.

I think it would be accurate to say that the decision Jake Lintott wasn't in the clubs long term plans was made several months ago.
Having signed him on a season long loan, it is interesting that Kent have decided he no longer fits in with their plans too.
Kent signed him just for the blast not on a season long loan. I think simple fact is probably the Bears wanted him to step back from cricket and coach the women, and he was, I think determined he had more cricket in him. We shall see
Erm no Hain, no Wylie?
Well well well, hain out, zen in and shock Jake in as well! Interesting!
A stronger bowling attack but batting looks weak.
Hain "rested" apparently...
Hain was injured in the last game, I think he injured his knee while fielding.
Warwickshire social media account calling it 'rested', who knows.
